You'll never believe how this newly-released BABY was made!

- only nine months development time

- solo female developer! (with contractor help)

This “solo dev” and “only 3 devs” rhetoric is getting truly dangerously out of hand. Investors see this and think “I only have to pay 3 people” and the result is severely overworked and/or underpaid people and a subpar product. We need to stop treating outsourcers and contractors like ghosts.

boss naming tropes I love and am planning to 100% put into tiny rogues:

* MECHA boss version (MECHA TIAMAT!?)
* boss OMEGA
* boss INCARNATE
* NEO boss

normalize putting random cool sounding prefixes and suffixes on your bosses. full final fantasy

Well both, I am basically rewriting Tiny Rogues for it to be better, faster and can do more:
* Localization
* Mid-run saving
* Easy modding
* New enemy bullets (would have to go over all enemies anyways)

and much more

Update: The test object moves around. We are 1 step closer to projectiles being back in the game. 😅

The behavior actually comes from a custom XML script, and yes, modders (and you) will be able to write and import their own behaviors.

It's going to be as easy as writing the file and putting it into a folder.

Watching these shows every year I wonder repeatedly: Will consumers ever get bored of being sold sexualization?

I like to joke "oh another weeb game" (games with same cute/sexy waifu after waifu) but I'm really overall burnt out by this in every art style.🥲

Please sell me a game not eye candy...

People and media often say Balatro was made by 'one guy'. I feel like that unfortunately may be stoking the flames of this David vs. Goliath narrative a tiny bit

No it was not 'one guy', look at the dang in-game credits

Gary J Kings @garyjkings.bsky.social · Jun 7

This year's Summer Games Fest presentation was really concerned with how few people made a lot of those games, huh?

It feels kinda fucked up. Not just because they're often misrepresntating the real size of these teams, but because I think it's playing directly into a new(ish) flavour of dev hate.
